Video by @joelsartore | When I recorded this killdeer chick @rogerswildlife it was just two days old. At hatching, killdeer chicks are ready to take on the world, already capable of walking and feeding themselves. Soon after the chicks’ down feathers dry, their parents will lead them to a feeding area where they’ll have their first meal. Chicks like this one will stay with mom and dad until they’re able to fly, at which point they officially leave the nest.
